WHAT IT DOES

What delete_webhook does on API-Central

AI agents call delete_webhook to permanently remove resources in API-Central, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why delete_webhook is rated Critical

The tool permanently removes a webhook resource without the ability to undo the action through a reverse operation. Deletion of webhooks eliminates integrations and automation triggers, potentially disrupting critical notification and event routing infrastructure. This qualifies as Destructive rather than Write because the action cannot be reversed and causes permanent loss of configuration state.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_webhook' and description 'Delete a webhook by ID' explicitly perform irreversible deletion of webhook configurations.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_webhook safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and API-Central, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delete_webhook, this is the rule to start with:

delete_webhook Hidden

delete_webhook is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect API-Central, apply this rule, and every delete_webhook call is checked against it from then on.
